Description
- There's something so very special about a well-established wisteria, trailing its pendulous flower sprays over a wall or pergola and radiating its lovely scent throughout the air. And as far as wisteria varieties go, 'Domino' is one of the very best!
- This climber produces large, fragrant racemes in a purplish-blue hue during the summer, which contrast wonderfully with the plant's light green, compound pinnate foliage
- There are several options available to you when it comes to growing your wisteria, but the most usual way is to train it as an espalier against a sunny, south-facing wall
- Even in winter, when this plant has shed its leaves, the woody stems add fantastic visual and textural interest to any surface they grow on
- A deserved recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, 'Domino' has been recognised as performing particularly well in British gardens

How To Grow
Good pest and disease resistance
Wisteria plants are generally healthy but can occasionally be affected by powdery mildew, scale insects and root rot.
Water regularly when first planted
Water your 'Domino' wisteria well when it's newly planted, especially during prolonged periods of hot and dry weather. After the first couple of years, the plant should establish itself well enough so that it will only needs light watering (if any).
Full sun to partial shade
For best flower production, full sun (six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day) is preferable. However, 'Domino' will still grow nicely in part shade.
Any fertile, moist, well-drained soil
If your soil is particularly heavy or gets waterlogged often, then make sure you mix in plenty of organic matter and perhaps even gravel or perlite to help improve drainage.
Feed every spring
Apply a high-potash fertiliser every year during the springtime. This encourages greater flower production.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
